I have a bus driver which surfaces virtual devices. The PDO's query device caps
is setting SilentInstall to true but you still get the sound every time a device
is created. There are no dialogs, so I supposed it is visually "silent", but is
there a way to avoid the audio as well for a truly silent install?

How to avoid hardware arrival/removal sounds?

Are they marked as removable?
